One year ago...two weeks ago...

God is good! Even in the midst of something so painful He bring so much good. One year ago today, was when we lost our Therese Marie in a miscarriage. It's hard to believe that it has been a year since we went through that experience, that was one of the hardest things I have experienced in my life. But even through that we knew that God would do good things, and He did. It was amazing to see how many other women I connected with through having shared this common experience. My heart went out to parents who lost children in a new way, and I have gained a deeper understanding of what it means to lose someone, and also to see how God works good in ALL situations. That all being said, and again remembering that God makes good out of all things...two weeks ago today, we welcomed our beautiful son Jacob Henry into our arms!

Our friend Allison (who was also our Doula during labor and delivery) told us that when you see babies looking off past your should or in another direction, their innocence allows them to see angels. This morning as I was holding Jacob, he was gazing over my left shoulder, and he had a new look on his face, with eyes wide open. I wholeheartedly believe he was seeing his big sister, Therese Marie. As I held him later this evening, I looked at him and was overwhelmed with the amount of love I have for him! I am so in love with this bundle of joy, it is amazing how you can love something so small, so much!
